    I just finished deck planking my Cheerful with yellow cedar. I really like it. It is the best application for this wood in my opinion. regards, ian

    Great job Jean-Paul. Your log will help me avoid the same mistakes once I open the box😀. You mentioned that you applied tung oil. I take it then that there are no worries about glue adhering to the frames after that? Or do you sand those areas first? ian

    You are doing a wonderful job Don. Love the wood too. When do you fit the dragon's head? Ian

    Hi B.E., Looking good. I don't know if you'd want to consider using your Amati stand for hull planking. I did and it made life simple. I glued and braced some strips to the false keel. A little work cutting them out when I'm through but the cost benefit is there for me. Ian

    Nice clean organized start Jean-Paul. I’ll be following along with interest. Regards, Ian

    I will follow along too. Always a learning experience with your work Rusty. Ian

    Very clever to pre-bend the strakes between the gun ports BE. Wish I'd thought of that. Ian

    Nice work Ben. Looking forward to many more pictures to help me when I get started on this beauty. Ian

    Well done Michael!

    Don if you can make that bend I want a full description of how you do it. Edge bending walnut that thick that much would be beyond me. Which of course is not saying much. A scarph joint might look pretty good?

    Hi Mike, Nice build! If if you want plank lines at the bow like Gregory’s you will have to do a fair amount of spiling and will therefore need sheet stock of walnut. Spiling is easy once you come up with a method of transferring the curves to the wood. I have no problems planking, bending and spiling with walnut. In fact it was my favourite wood to work with until boxwood spoiled me. 🙂

    B.E. (and Kurt) you are just so darn inventive. I wish I was behind you guys so I could benefit from your ideas but I’m well into hull planking now. The only small suggestion I can make is that when it comes to thinning the stern flank pieces, think about using a jewelry saw instead of a dremel drum to get very close to where you need to be. I just didn’t trust myself to hit the adjacent stern frames. Worked perfectly and reduced the sawdust and noise fury. Ian

    Looks good Don. Keep up the great work. Ian

    I’m joining the stain looks good chorus. Well done. Ian
  22. Seventynet
    Looking good Michael. You got those patterns to fit very well. best regards, Ian

    The Dutch Boeier because it is so unique and otherwise unavailable - followed by the Pegasus. Ian

    Hi Don, Congratulations on completing the massive job of planking your Stefano. Beautiful job! The wood looks very good with a coat of poly on it. Regards, Ian

    Beautiful work Eugene. What kinds of wood did you use and when will it be available? Best Regards, Ian

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
